What's the problem? You know girls are weaker than men right?

jesus christ this will forever be the most embarrassing experience I've ever had. My max bench is 90lbs now so I didn't give up, but the memory makes me want to kill myself.

I will never understand how adults manage to live their life in such a way that they're unable to at least bench lmao0.5plate for reps the first time they come to the gym. Have you lived your whole life not picking up anything heavier than your toilet seat?

OMG that is the bar with a 2.5kg weight on each side.

Cringiest thing Ive ever read lmao.

>>41324427

BTW my most embarassing memory:

I had chronic stress and was only eating 500 calories a day and sleeping 3 hours a night when I was going to the gym. Was on the verge of suicide every day.

I went unconcious a few times. I remember passing out after squatting just the bar, waking up with my face in vomit on th floor, with several people circled around me asking if I was OK and how they could help.

I still go to that same gym and now I squat about 80kg (should be more but I dislocated my knee and damaged adducter recently)

>that fat girl that wears wrist wraps to bench less that you are overhead pressing, but claims its ok since she is a powerlifter

>>41324427
>counting the bar

>>41320951
We all start somewhere man.

People in the gym don't really give a shit how much you lift.

Also if you aren't able to do the last rep, that just means you gave it your all.

Look up the roll of shame, it's pretty easy to do

The bar has weight so why wouldn't you count it?

>that guy who attaches bands on the power rack and does quarter rom pistol squats on one of the ball things

This is just from my session today.

Makes more sense why 5 guys came rushing to save you

>>41326611
Use the safeties nigga. If your bench doesn't have them use a power rack or something. Bench in the squat rack if you have to. Tell the gym owner there needs to be a bench with safeties. With them you don't have to pussy out of your last rep even if you think you can't make it.

>>41326791
Serious question, what are your lifts?

>>41326753
lol, by that logic you should also count the weight of your arms

go away scrub

>>41326826
It's a college gym and there's no safeties on any of the benches surprisingly. Also the benches are on the other side of the gym from the racks presumably so no one uses them. No retard is going to drag a bench all the way over there and I haven't ever seen anyone do it.

They really ought to have those safeties I can't imagine why they wouldn't but oh well.

>>41326846
No because you're also lifting with your arms dumbfuck, bench press works your tris too

>>41326846
bait
but you're not applying force on your arms.

>>41321006
It's probably because bench is a retarded unrealistic move
It's a very fun exercise and important part of lifting though

You're never gonna make it. Don't you know you're never gonna make it?

Hey guys I didn't lift for a couple weeks, went back into it full blown and tweaked something between my shoulder blades during OHP to where it now hurts my spine to even take a drink. I rested yesterday so I'm good right?

theres a pretty clear difference between 45 pounds and two arms.

>>41327503
Each of my arms weighs roughly 20lbs.

Start counting arms guys.

>>41320951
Learn to bail. Practice controlling the bar when it comes down and guide it on the safeties.

Also start lighter and work your way up. When you get to weight that you think you'll struggle to do more than 5 reps, ask for a spot.

5x5 is a great program btw. Fastest gains in my compound lifts when I could barely bench the bar. Its been like 4 months since I got off 5x5 and switched but I benched my body weight for reps today and it felt good. Don't be discouraged man
